There is always no shortage of topics to talk about in the Russia-Ukraine conflict, and U.S. aid to Ukraine will soon be accelerated. The Russia-Ukraine conflict has lasted for more than 2 years, and although many people have become tired of everything that happened on the battlefield of the Russia-Ukraine conflict and lost their enthusiasm for the past, there is still no shortage of topics worth paying attention to in this conflict. The Russia-Ukraine conflict is an atypical conflict that occurred in the context of the times, which is an inevitable product of the accelerated adjustment of the world pattern and a landmark event of the accelerated collapse of the US-led hegemony. The Russia-Ukraine conflict is destined to go down in history as an important watershed in human history. Both the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate have passed aid bills for Ukraine, and after Biden signs it, the corresponding aid will be implemented.
This also means that US aid to Ukraine will be accelerated. The scenario of a large number of American cargo ships loaded with arms to Ukraine is about to appear, and this is bound to be a big scene. Of course, U.S. aid to Ukraine is not for Ukraine, but for the U.S. itself. American arms dealers will be the biggest winners, and how many weapons Ukraine can get will be a matter of no one's concern. The U.S. is bound to reach its $61 billion aid target quickly, but the extent to which it will help Ukraine is clearly unknown. It will also be inevitable that Russia will destroy the weapons and ammunition aided by the United States as soon as possible, and it will also be inevitable that the Ukrainian front line will gain little, and Ukraine is obviously a little happy.
The Ukrainian army lost nearly 500,000 people, and such a tragic loss was fatal for Ukraine. The root of a country is people, and everything is meaningless without people. The most serious crisis that Ukraine is experiencing now is the personnel crisis, because judging from the most controversial conscription bill signed by Zelensky, Ukraine is really out of soldiers. On April 23, local time, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu reported on the battlefield situation since the start of the war. Shoigu noted that since the start of the special military operation, the Ukrainian army has lost nearly 500,000 people, more than 22,000 drones, 3,500 "Hippocampus" rockets and 600 missiles. 500,000 people is not a small number, and it is fatal for Ukraine.
The population controlled by the Ukrainian government has fallen from 45 million at the beginning of the war to more than 20 million today, which can be said to be more than half. More importantly, the number of young people that Ukraine can mobilize is already very limited. Now most of the Ukrainian barracks are gray-bearded old men, because most of the previous young people were killed or wounded and lost their ability to fight. Zelensky changed the conscription regulations in an attempt to get more young people to go to war, but this also caused panic among the Ukrainian population. Many families in Ukraine no longer have men, and their men have died on the battlefield. Now the front-line soldiers in Ukraine cannot even guarantee basic rotation.
Ukraine fought so badly that the deputy defense minister was withdrawn. The Ukrainian National News Agency reported on the 23rd local time that the Ukrainian government passed a number of personnel decisions, including the dismissal of Vitaly Polovenko from the post of Deputy Minister of Defense. Just as the commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian army was removed not long ago, the war was a failure, and someone always had to take the blame. The withdrawal of the Deputy Minister of Defense of Ukraine is only the responsibility for the continuous crushing defeats of the Ukrainian army. At present, Ukraine has no way to replenish its troops, and many experienced veterans are gone. Even if someone comes out to take the blame now, it is obvious that it will not change the current situation of the war. Ukraine has already overdrawn everything, and the future is really not clear.
Ukraine has begun to remove its deputy defense minister, and Russia has arrested a deputy defense minister. The Russian Investigative Committee posted on social media on the evening of the 23rd that Russian Deputy Defense Minister Timur Ivanov was detained on suspicion of accepting bribes. It is reported that Ivanov is responsible for the management of the property of the Russian armed forces, the stationing of troops, housing and medical support, etc., and is suspected of accepting bribes of at least 1 million rubles (1 yuan is about 13 rubles). According to reports, Putin already knew the news. Accepting bribes was the basic reason for the arrest of the Russian deputy defense minister, but the real reason behind it is not clear. Is it a coincidence that the deputy defense minister of Ukraine was removed and the deputy defense minister of Russia was detained, this is not clear.
The situation on the battlefield has changed overnight? Things are not so simple, the struggle behind the scenes is becoming more and more complicated, and there will be more and more complicated games of all kinds. The fact that Russia's deputy defense ministers and Ukraine's deputy defense ministers had problems at about the same time should be a coincidence for now. However, from the analysis of all aspects, the conflict between Russia and Ukraine has become more and more difficult, and many things have become not so simple. The conflict between Russia and Ukraine is not only a fierce struggle in the foreground, but also a fierce struggle in the background. Against the backdrop of the increasingly expensive involvement of the United States and the West, all kinds of complex games are being staged in multiple corners at the same time. It can be said that as long as there are people in Ukraine who are still on the front line, it will be difficult to stop this game.
The seizure of land is no longer the core goal of Russia's military operation, and the thorough control of the corresponding land is Russia's greatest concern. If people lose land, people and land will survive. If the land is lost, the people and the land are lost. This is the wisdom of our ancients, and now Russia understands this more and more. At the beginning, Russia drove straight into Kyiv and occupied a large amount of land in a very short time. However, because the logistical supplies could not keep up and the troops could not keep up, the Ukrainian army quickly counterattacked with the support of the United States and the West, and caught Russia by surprise. The lands occupied by Russia at great cost were quickly lost in the counterattack of the Ukrainian army.
More importantly, the Russian army has paid a huge price in casualties. This profound lesson has also made Russia understand that fighting the West, led by the United States, not Ukraine, must not blindly advance and must not take the occupation of more land as a goal. Now Russia is steadily advancing, and against the background of ensuring absolute superiority and absolute control, Russia is advancing step by step. If you seize a village, you will control a village, and if you seize a town, you will control a town, and absolutely do not give Ukraine any chance to counterattack, which has become the basic principle of the current Russian army. Putin began to cut sausages, which made Ukraine look very uncomfortable.
Ukraine has completely collapsed in constant attrition, and the United States and the West have also reached the point of struggling to support it. The United States and the West want to use Ukraine to consume Russia, and Russia will do what it wants, and use it steadily and steadily to consume Ukraine and consume Ukraine's backers. Ukraine has completely collapsed under Russian attrition and has now largely lost its basic combat capability. Although the United States and the West are still struggling to support themselves, they are also very difficult. It can be said that it is obviously the United States and the West, not Russia, that will not be able to hold on first.
